I'd assume his vehicle had either a FORS or CLOCS sticker. Though this may just be me being a self congratulatory smug cunt.
We have now trained thousands of drivers about vulnerable road users, and I am finding more and more lorry drivers views and behaviour around cyclists has completely changed.

I've noticed the same. I always give them a 'thumbs up, thanks bro' in return.

I didn't spot the sticker but I wasn't looking for one, to be fair. The whole experience lifted me from a funk, so if you did have a hand in it, thank you. In fact, even if you didn't in that case, thank you, because in general, as others have said, HGVs seem to be that bit nicer.

Yes, although if I were driving an HGV I would probably expect it more. I had a great experience with an HGV driver the other day as I was belting down Great Eastern St. I was in the left of the two lanes heading East, car ahead of me stopped for some reason, I looked over my right shoulder to see if I could change lanes in time to avoid getting stuck but there's a car there who's gaining on me and he's not slowing down for anyone, least of all me. Behind him is a huge truck that I've been conscious of for half a mile, in a primal fear of death sense. The car blocks my lane change hopes and I do get stuck but the HGV sees this and actually stops to let me change lane. I nearly fall of my bike clipping back in I'm so surprised.
